Lecture 2:
Plate boundaries, Stress, and Lithospheric deformation
Aims: Review the consequences of lithospheric deformation.
Plate boundaries are the priviledged locus for deformation. We will see that 3 sorts of plate boundaries can be defined, each having a particular stress regime. We will see that under the action of stresses, rocks deform in different manners: Elastic (like
